Born a 10th generation Oregonian, (5 generations on each side) I have an enthusiasm for learning and teaching new things. After a ten year mini career in the dental field I moved on to research and embraced the social web. Though the internet is far too large for any one person to claim to be an expert, I can hold my own with the latest trends.
I enjoy researching and writing blogs. As the "Internet Program Director" for myMotherLode.com since 2008, I update the website and have a wide variety of interests. There is always something entertaining, educational or inspirational to share.

Like many of Biden’s off-the-prompter comments, it makes no sense.
According to Indian writer Ahmitav Ghosh, “The true tragedy of a routinely spent life is that its wastefulness does not become apparent ‘til it is too late.”
